DETROIT (WWJ) -- Investigators with the Detroit Police Department are hoping a tip will help them track down a couple of suspects in a theft and assault case.

At around 4:45 p.m. on Saturday, June 22, the DPD said officers responded to a beauty supply store in the 20100 block of W. Warren were employees said two women were suspected of shoplifting.

While one employee was investigating the theft, another employee — identified as a 50-year-old woman — was recording the incident, police said.
